  • No Comments on Dolphins & Octopus at Cabo Pearce
By Nautilus Staff on January 23rd, 2018 in Crew, Socorro

For me, it was a wonderful first experience at Cabo Pearce. Despite unfavorable surface conditions, we encountered a playful small group of Dolphins. An exposed octopus gave guests a colorful display of its camouflage capabilities as it moved along the bottom shortly before the return of the dolphin that greeted us at the beginning of […]

Roca Partida has lived up to its hype and then some. The two day stay began with an eventful exploration of the ancient magma plug. Schools of fish including almaco jack pairs, horse-eye jacks and more white-tip sharks than I could count, and of course, the incredible giant mantas. All of this peppered with yellow-tail […]

Location: Secret location, Admiralty Island, southeast Alaska I can’t disclose the location of our second dive of the day. It’s too dangerous for our friends – thousands of Alaska king crabs. Happy to report that we did our first scuba splash this morning on the wreck of the large steamship State of California in Gambier Bay, Admiralty Island.  It was an […]

Location: Steveston, Vancouver, British Columbia Have to admit that I ended up a little behind with my Captain’s log entries.  Especially once Charlie and Emily, my amazing 5 and 8 year old kids, joined me for a couple of weeks onboard.  Seeing British Columbia and Alaska through their eyes is very refreshing and entertaining.   They loved the orcas and […]

Kermode Bear on the Beach

Our morning dive on the wreck of the Transpac was outstanding as usual with visibility estimated at 80 feet or more. The Transpac is without a doubt the most amazing wreck I have ever seen – standing upright as it does with the transom of the 180 foot fish boat plunked down on a ledge at 285 feet with the bow at 110 feet and the wreck aligned almost perfectly upright on the sheer wall. Did a dock dive in the afternoon and those divers who stayed under the pilings had a fabulous dive with giant pacific octopus sightings as well as 20 plus ratfish (aka chimera). We’re off to Shushartie Bay (Dillon Rock) and Browning Wall tonight and then in to Vancouver to finish off this very fine trip.

A Fabulous New Dive Site at Inian Island

By Nautilus Staff on July 14th, 2008 in Archive

I am always up for trying 2 or 3 exploratory new dives on a trip if our guests are “up” for it. The folks on this trip are terrific sports and up for exploratory diving. We lucked out today with the discovery of a beautiful, albeit current-sensitive, pinnacle loaded with invertebrate life including corals, sponges and anemones as well as a giant pacific octopus and wolf eels.

Achingly Beautiful Inlet in Alaska

Just imagine calm glassy water with the vivid green of tall spruce, hemlock and fir trees towering along the shoreline and then steep granite cliffs that transition into snow covered mountains rising over 3000 feet right above us. Top it off with a roaring waterfall and the odd grizzly bear wandering around the estuary and it becomes hard to imagine anything more beautiful.
